Walk with Christ...Day 11

Today is day 11 of our 14 day walk with Christ. Below are your questions, story, and scriptures to read. Remember to ponder the questions and keep in mind the story that you read and perhaps take it with you to re-read. At the end of the day, evaluate how you did, and write your thoughts and feelings in your journal.

Day 11 Questions:
How does the Lord want me to serve?
Is the Lord first in my life?
What am I doing to build up the Lord and His Kingdom?
How do I really feel about the service I give others?
Does serving the Lord make me happy?

Story: His Hands

His Hands tools of creation
Stronger than nations
Power without end
And yet through them We find our truest Friend
His Hands Sermons of kindness

Healing men's blindness
Halting years of pain
children waiting To be held again

His Hand would serve His whole life though
Showing man what hands might do
Giving, ever giving endlessly

Each day was filled with selflessness
And I'll not rest
Til I make my hands what they could be
Like the ones from Galilee

His Hands Warming a beggar
Lifting a leper
Calling back the dead
Breaking bread Five thousand fed

His hands Hushing contention
Pointing to Heaven Ever free of sin
Then bidding man to follow Him

They take His hands
His mighty hands
Those gentle hands and then they pierce them
They pierce them
He lets them because of love

From birth to death was selflessness and clearly now
I see Him with His hands calling to me
and though I'm not yet how I could be
I will make My hands like those from Galilee

To serve others willingly and unselfishly should be one of our greatest virtues. It is not even a matter of choice. It is an obligation, a sacred command...Therefore, let us serve one another with brotherly love, never tiring of the demands upon us, being patient and persevering and generous. -- Ezra T. Benson New Era Sept 1979, p.44
